Curved

Primarily used for hard to accommodate areas (like the ankles and patella), but also effective around the elbow, for inferior breast scarring, around the eyes, and behind the ear. The grey fabric is designed for your comfort. It's breathable to help keep you cool and wicks away moisture. The soft fabric has a gentle grip to help keep your Swell Spot in place. Just wash with a regular load of laundry. Remember, don't use bleach or fabric softeners. Then, machine dry and it's ready for use under bandages or garments. It's 5 cm wide by 13 cm high.

Dorsal

Designed for use on the dorsum of either the hand or foot. Secure in place on the back of your hand, opposite your palm, using compression bandages. Or use on the top of your foot, opposite your sole. The pad helps encourage fluid drainage and reduce fibrosis. Swell Spots provide a gentle, localized tissue stretch. The soft, gray material stays in place during use. Inner foam chips fill in concavities and spread out the pressure. It's easy to take care of your Swell Spot, just machine wash and dry.
